## TL;DR

This paper highlights that fibrous dysplasia should be considered in children with finger lesions and suggests using CT scans for better diagnosis.

## Contribution

The paper emphasizes the importance of considering fibrous dysplasia in pediatric finger lesions and recommends CT scans for assessment.

## Key findings

- Polyostotic lesions in pediatric fingers may indicate fibrous dysplasia.
- CT scans are useful for identifying ground-glass densities in such cases.

## Abstract

Teaching point: When a polyostotic lesion in the fingers is seen in a pediatric patient, fibrous dysplasia should be included in the differential diagnosis and a CT scan should be considered for the assessment of ground-glass densities.
